If you have read my other fanfic, you will know that I love angst and drama. This story will be about the Charming and the Mills/Hood family. Hope you like it!

A week ago

"Are you sure this is the only option we have?" David asked the blue fairy.

"Yes your majesty, this is the only way to save Neal and Roland. The savior has the purest magic of all and she is the only one who can defeat this witch"

"I am not sure about this" Snow said looking at everybody around her.

"I don't like this idea either" Regina agreed "We will be putting Emma and Henry in danger. I gave them a good life and it wouldn't be fair to take that away from them and bring them to fight with us"

"I won't do that to my daughter" Snow said looking at the blue fairy "there must be another way to defeat this witch"

"There isn't, the only one who has enough power to defeat her is Emma. She has to come back, if not I am afraid the witch will succeed"

Snow got a little upset, she didn't want to take her daughter's happy ending away from her "There must be another way, I won't sacrificed my daughter for my son!"

"I don't know what to tell you your majesty. Emma is the only one who can save them" The blue fairy insisted.

"We were only able to find two magic beans no long ago" David said, "We could use one to go for Emma and another one to bring them back here"

"Are you seriously thinking about this David!?" Snow asked surprised "We will be putting Emma and Henry in danger. I think we all know that that witch knows that Emma is the only one who can defeat her"

"I miss her Snow! I miss my daughter! And I don't want to loss Neal. I am sure that Emma would want us to find her so she could help her little brother"

"It wouldn't be fair to her" Regina whispered "she will see it as if you two only looked for her when you need her to save you and I am afraid that Henry will believe that too"

"We will protect them" Robin said "We can have people with them at all times"

"Is not that simple. That witch has magic. Powerful magic" The blue fairy said "She could easily defeat us and she will take Neal and Roland with her"

"We still have to figure out why she wants them," Regina said

"We have to brink Emma here" Robin said, "I know that it will be dangerous but we can protect her and Henry. Nobody has to lose"

Regina and Snow looked at each other. They both had lost their children four years ago when they came back to the Enchanted Forest. They did not wanted to lose their other children either.

"I don't like this idea either my lady, but we have to give Roland and Neal their best chance" Robin said.

"Not if it means putting my daughter and grandson in danger!" Snow exclaimed.

"They are not the only ones in danger your majesty, we all are in danger" The blue fairy said "you have to think about what is best for the kingdom"

"We will do it" David said looking at Snow "We will bring Emma back to where she belongs"

"Charming if we bring her back she will think that..."

"I don't want to lose another one of my children Snow! And as I've said before I am sure Emma would've want that" David turned around to looked at Regina "and I am sure that Henry would've want that too"

Regina knew that Henry always did what was right even if it meant putting his life at danger, she also knew that Henry would've wanted to help them. A part of her wanted to bring her son back to her so she could be complete again but another part of her was afraid that Henry would push her away. Four years were a long time, and Henry must be a young man by now.

"Snow we have to do it" Regina said looking at Snow "We will be able to protect them as long as they are here with us"

Snow walked closer to Regina "Are you sure this is the best idea?" Snow whispered.

"I am afraid it is, you saw how I barely defeat her. If me and Emma team up, I am sure we will be able to destroy her," Regina explained Snow "we could have our children back with us Snow"

Snow nodded "Ok, we will do it"

"We need to send someone to escort her to our land" The blue fairy said.

"Hook" Snow said

"What!?," David said, "No, I will go"

"I am afraid we need you here your majesty" The blue fairy said.

"We will tell Hook to go and bring our daughter back," Snow said

"I agree with Snow, as much as I don't like that dirty pirate I believe that he is the one for the job," Regina agreed with Snow.

"Hey kid" Emma said as she entered Henry's room. Henry was packing some of his things in a backpack. Emma couldn't believe how fast their lives had changed once again. When they first drank the remembering potion she was so confused but at the same time exited to see her parents again. The day she had to cross that town line she promised herself that if she ever saw them again, she won't hesitate to call them mom and dad, after all she had waited a long time to use those words.

"How do you feel about all this?" Emma said as she sat in Henry's bed.

"I am exited to see my mom again" Henry said, "I have to apologize to her"

"Apologize for what?" Emma asked confused.

"I treated her badly when I thought that she was the evil queen. I said things to her that I shouldn't have said. When all she ever wanted was to be with me, she just wanted to be needed and loved," Henry explained

Emma smiled at Henry. He was a nice intelligent young man. "I think I have to apologize to my parents too"

"For pushing them away?" Henry asked as he walked towards his closet.

"Yes...wait how did you know?"

"Well it's pretty obvious" Henry said as he walked back to the bed. He placed a box in the bed and started to take things out of it "I am sure they will be happy to have you back with them"

"To be honest I don't know if I will be able to survive in the enchanted forest, lets just say that the last time I visited I had a really bad experience"

"I am sure it will be different now, they have back their kingdom" Henry said as he took a long thin box out "Hook said that my mom and your parents took back the kingdom together, so I guess they left their differences aside" Henry said as he opened the small book and took out a wand.

"Are you seriously going to take that wand with you?" Emma laughed, "You do know that we are going to the enchanted forest and not Hogwarts right?"

"Oh come on mom! This was given to me three years ago when we went Universal Studios in Orlando. I remember that I felt really special that day. I guess I knew that I was meant to be great and powerful" Henry joked, "after all I am a prince and you a princess soooo"

"ugh! I don't even want to think about that!" Emma said. She really wanted to see her parents again but that meant that she was going to be a princess and do princessy things.

"You should take your wand with you too, who knows it might come in handy one day" Henry said as he securely placed the wand inside his backpack.

"I will have to get used to ogres and magic and fairies and all those things again," Emma said

"Well you seemed to adjust just well with captain Hook" Henry teased.

Emma opened and closed her mouth. "That is...just not...is just different"

Henry gave his mother a knowing look "Yeah sure. I don't mind by the way. You have my blessing. I like him"

Emma opened her eyes wide. She wasn't going to deny that she had feelings for Hook, after all he was really good looking, but she had never thought that Henry had noticed that she was starting to see Hook in a whole different way.

Henry looked at his mother and laughed "Come on! It's kind of obvious actually. Where is he anyways?"

"He went to get us some food" Emma said as she looked at her phone realizing that they were not going to have any of those devices in the enchanted forest "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. You?" Henry asked

"Sure" Emma said not so convinced.

"Mom, they are our family, we belong there with them" Henry said as he sat down next to Emma "I know it will be hard to pick up where we left off, but it's going to be worth it"

Emma wrapped an arm around Henry "I hope so kid"

At night in NYC

Emma was standing in the balcony of her house looking down at the New York lights beneath her. This last week had been crazy mainly because she suddenly remembered who she really was. She was Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter; she was the savior. She wondered why her parents waited four years to look for her, maybe they were looking for a way to get to her and they couldn't find it until now.

"Swan" Killian said as he walked closer to Emma, he stood next to her "What are you doing out here?"

"I like to come out her and watch the lights below me; it helps me to calm down and think" Emma said looking down at the busy streets beneath her "I am going to miss this, all of this"

Hook nodded "I understand Swan, but I am sure you will like the enchanted forest. You were build to survive there"

"Yeah right, I was born to fight ogres and magical creatures or wherever lives there" Emma said sarcastically.

"What I meant is that you are one of the strongest woman I've come across Swan, and I am sure that you won't give up. Your lad seems to be exited about going to the enchanted forest"

"Well, he always wanted to go live there"

"And you don't?" Killian said turning around to see Emma "You don't want to go back?"

"I just...we have a really nice life here. I am Emma Swan a bail bonds person, a mother. I don't know how to feel about going back to be the savior." Emma whispered.

"You are much more than a savior Swan" Killian said putting his hand on top of Emma's. He turned around to watch the lights "I have to be honest, it is quite a scene down there, but we also have something like this back in the enchanted forest"

Emma smiled and felt a little tingling sensation in her stomach when Killian placed his hand on top of hers. "You do?" She asked.

"Yes, but you have to look up to see them" Killian said taking Emma's chin and raising it so she could see the sky "you can't really see them in this realm, but they cover the sky back in your parent's land"

Emma looked down to see Killian, who was leaning towards her. Emma looked deep into Killian's eyes and saw love in them. She freaked out for a moment but then Killian placed his lips on hers. Their lips touched for a few seconds until Emma pushed Killian away. "Killian?"

"'I've wanted to do that since the first day I saw you again" Killian said with a smirk.

Emma blushed a little bit "I will go back to sleep, we have a long trip tomorrow" Emma said as she turned around and walked inside the apartment, she smiled and touched her lips.

Back in the enchanted Forest

Regina was walking out of Roland's room when she saw Snow walking out of Neal's room. They had placed the kids in rooms next to each other so it would be easy to keep them both safe.

Snow looked at Regina and gave her a warm smile "Are you ready for tomorrow?" She asked

"I don't know, you?" Regina asked as she walked towards Snow.

"I am exited to see my daughter again but I also feel scared of how she is going to take it" Snow whispered "I know Emma and she believes that people only use her and I am afraid that she will think that we are doing just that, which we are in a way"

Regina nodded "I know, I feel exactly the same about Henry"

"He will understand he was always a nice and understanding boy" Snow said trying to give Regina a little encouragement.

"He is not a kid anymore. He is a fifteen year old young boy now" Regina said

Snow took Regina's hand a squish it "Everything will be fine, we should not lose hope Regina"

"It is easy to say that when you are a hero, everything turns out to be ok for you. Villains like me get screwed over every time"

"I lost my daughter too Regina" Snow said. She understood the insecurities that Regina was feeling right now. "And you are not longer a villain. You are Queen Regina you are not longer the Evil Queen. You are Roland's mother, you took him in as your own when he was only a two-year-old boy, and you have been a wonderful mother to him. When I see you now, all I see is a amazing mother and an fair ruler, Henry will see that too"

Regina smiled at Snow. Their relationship has grown so much in the last four years. They were the only ones who understood what it felt like to lose a child as a mother.

"Thank you" Regina squished Snow's hand "take your own advice" Regina said as she let go of Snow "good night Snow" Regina said before walking away to her room. She could still remember the last words Henry told her "You're not a villain. You are my mom" She had missed Henry every day for the last four years, she had Roland and Robin with her now but there was always this little hole in her heart. A hole that only Henry could fill.

Regina walked into her room still remembering the last day she saw Henry. She could still feel the pain of losing him. She could still remember the little yellow car slowly fading away in the distance, taking her heart with it. The first months that followed where torture for her, she felt as if she had lost everything, every reason to live. Then she meet Robin Hood and he and Roland made the pain be more bearable, Roland had won her heart from the first time she saw him, he was a sweet two year old who made her smile who gave her the courage that she needed to keep herself alive. She had learned to live with the pain of losing Henry.

"What are you thinking about?" Robin said as he approached Regina who was at the balcony looking at the sundown. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin in her shoulder.

"Everything" Regina whispered as she rested her body against Robin's. She always felt safe in his arms, he was the only one to whom she could let herself be vulnerable.

"We will succeed and you will finally have the family you deserve. You will have your boy with you"

"What if we don't? What if something happens to Henry? I will never forgive myself if he gets harmed. I gave him a new life, new memories because I wanted to keep him safe" Regina said as she rested her check against Robin's. "It's been four years Robin. He is not the same little boy that I knew so well, he is a young man now"

"You are afraid he won't want you" Robin stated.

"Yes" Regina whispered. One of her biggest fears was that Henry wouldn't need her or want her anymore.

Robin tilted her head and kissed Regina's cheek "A boy never stops needing his mother, no matter how old they get"

"He has a mother already"

Robin turned Regina around so they could make eye contact "He has two mothers. You raised him by yourself for ten years Regina. I don't know him but I have heard so much about him and I am certain he will be happy to see you again" Robin said giving Regina a reassuring smile "Roland is so exited to finally meet him"

Regina smiled back at Robin. She didn't know how Henry was going to take the fact that she had Roland and Robin in her life. "I know. Roland told me that he couldn't wait to meet his big brother"

"He asked me if he could go with us tomorrow" Robin said "but I told him that he should wait here"

"Good" Regina said, "I want to talk to Henry first. It's not going to be easy to explain this whole mess without making it seem as if we only looked for them when we needed them"

Robin stoke Regina's cheek lovingly "Let's go to bed; we will have a long day tomorrow"

David walked into his room to find Snow already in bed. She was facing the other way opposite to him. He took his cape off and crawled into the bed next to his wife. He hugged Snow by the waist and kissed her cheek. "Everything is going to be ok Snow"

"How are you so sure?" Snow asked as she turned her body around to face her husband.

"Because we will be together. We will finally have our family together. And we won't let anybody hurt our children" David said as he stroke Snow's cheek "I believe that our daughter will understand why we are doing this"

Snow gave David a sad smile. She knew her daughter, and she knew that she had a lot of insecurities regarding family and people around her. She knew that Emma had been let down by a lot of people in her life and that was the main reason she had all those walls. Snow feared that those walls might not let Emma see the love that she and David had for her. "What if she doesn't understand? What if she thinks that we didn't look for her all these years? What if she believes that we are bringing her back only because we need something from her?"

"Snow we can't think like that. Emma is our daughter too and I am sure she will understand that we are bringing her back not only to save Neal but to have her with us again" David said trying to convince Snow and himself.

Snow moved closer to David hiding her face in her husband's neck and wrapping her arms around his torso. "I missed her so much" Snow whispered with a broken voice. She had not only missed her daughter, but she had also missed her friend.

"I know, me too." David said as he kissed Snow's temple, bringing her body closer to his.

Emma woke up when she heard voices coming from the living room. She slowly opened her eyes, for a second her life was normal, she was a single mother raising her son. Then her reality hit her, she was the daughter of two fairy tale characters and today she was going to leave New York to go live in the freaking enchanted forest. She let out a whine and closed her eyes. She wasn't ready to leave this life, she wasn't ready to go live the life that she had four years ago, full of mystical creatures and fairy tale characters. The main reason she was doing this was because Henry wanted to see his mother again. She wanted to see her parents again too, but she had a feeling as if something was going to go wrong. Maybe it was the years in foster care that had made her this afraid to go and live in new places or meet new people, but she still couldn't shake that feeling.

"Mom?" She heard Henry say as he knocked her bedroom door.

"Coming!" Emma said as she got up from her bed "I will take a shower, you can start making breakfast"

"Ok, cool!" Emma herd Henry said.

Emma took what she considered a long shower. This was going to be the last shower that she was going to take with running water. She wondered how she was going to survive without all the commodities that this modern world had. She got dressed and walked to the kitchen. Killian and Henry were at the table eating some pancakes with scramble eggs.

"What took you so long?" Henry asked.

Emma took a plate and sat next to Henry "I was enjoying my last shower"

"Mom, you do know that we are going to be living in a castle right?" Henry said with a little laugh.

Emma shrugged "I know kid, don't remind me of that" She felt that she wasn't really suited to live in a castle, after all she had lived half her life in the foster system where she was lucky if she had a bedroom to herself.

Henry looked at Killian and then at Emma "Are you having second thoughts about this mom?"

"No, of course not" Emma lied "anyways we should eat fast if we want to get to central park before sunset"

Henry nodded. They finished breakfast and they got their backpacks. Emma took a last look at the place that she considered home for the last four years. She had amazing moments with Henry in this apartment.

"Come on mom, we have to go" Henry said as he took Emma's hand in his own "our family is waiting for us"

Emma took a deep breath and looked at Henry. He had so much happiness and hope in his eyes. Emma nodded and walked towards the door, she took a last look at her apartment and closed the door behind her.

Regina was sleeping when she heard a little voice that she knew so well "Mom!" Roland said as he ran into the bedroom.

Regina smiled and opened her eyes to see a really exited Roland almost jumping up and down in front of the bed. "You have to wake up! We are going to go get Henry"

Robin sat up in the bed "what are you doing awake at this hour?"

"I couldn't sleep" Roland said looking down at his feet. It had been hard for him to sleep since the day the wicked witch threatened to take him away from Regina and Robin. "And I want to meet Henry!" Roland said looking up excitedly.

Regina got up and walked towards Roland. She knew that Roland was having trouble sleeping. Regina opened her arms and Roland immediately jumped to them. "I won't let anything happen to you Roland" Regina whispered.

"I know mama," Roland said as he clung to Regina.

"Now" Regina said taking Roland and placing him in the bed "you can't come with us to get Henry and Emma. But we will bring them here to you"

Roland wasn't really convinced about this but he nodded.

"Why don't I take you back to your room so you could sleep?" Robin suggested.

"I don't feel like sleeping" Roland said crossing his arms.

"If you sleep, the time will go faster and the next thing you know we will be back," Regina said.

"With Henry!?"

Regina smiled "yes, with Henry" Roland had learned to like Henry without even knowing him. He would always ask questions about him.

"Ok deal" Roland said as he walked towards the door.

"I will come back and get ready once he is asleep," Robin told Regina.

Regina nodded and walked towards her wardrobe to get ready. In just hours she was going to have Henry back with her. She was feeling even more nervous than yesterday. She wanted to see Henry again but she was afraid of Henry's reaction when he learned about Robin and Roland, and the danger that they were all facing.

Snow woke up in her husband's arms; she smiled and snuggled closer to him. She knew that they needed to get ready to go and receive Emma and Henry but she loved the first seconds between sleep and reality, in those seconds her life wasn't as complicated as it really was.

"Charming we have to wake up" Snow whispered as she untangle herself from her husband "we have to go get Emma and Henry"

David immediately opened his eyes and smiled "we are going to have our daughter with us again"

Snow smiled down at her husband and gave him a quick kiss "I know Charming, but we have to get ready. Remember we still have to find her" They didn't really knew where the portal was going to open, all they knew was that it was going to open somewhere in the forest. They had told Hook that they were going to meet at the forest.

"I will always find her" David said in a confidence voice "we will always find her"

"Yes, we will" Snow said as she got up to get ready.

Emma, Killian and Henry walked trough central park in New York. It was early in the morning so there weren't that many people.

"Are you sure this is the best place to open a portal?" Killian asked looking around.

"Yes. Nobody is here this early, and it's the only place where we wouldn't be surrounded by buildings. I know this place like the back of my hand and nobody walked trough this place this early" Emma said as she guided the boys to a place that was filled with threes and bushes.

"I agree with mom," Henry said "Us New Yorkers don't like to wake up early...unless we have to"

"Us New Yorkers?" Killian asked

Emma smiled at Henry. She knew that she wasn't going to be the only one who was going to miss New York.

"Oh my good mom!" Henry said with a little chuckle "I just realized that we have been living in the big apple"

"What?" Killian asked "what apple?"

"That's how New York is called, the big apple," Emma explained to Killian. She turned her head around to see Henry again "what about that kid?"

"Really? You don't get it? Big apple...Snow White...the Evil Queen"

"Oh god!" Emma said with a little chuckle "the freaking apple!"

"Language!" Henry said teasingly.

Emma and Henry looked at each other realizing the irony behind all this and they began to laugh.

Killian looked at them and noticed the strong bond that those two had. They were mother and son, but they also acted like best friends. Killian couldn't help but wonder how it will be like if he was allowed into their little family. They continued walking until they reached a bridge. They walked under the bridge. The place was really isolated making it perfect to open the portal there.

Emma stopped and took a deep breath in "This is it. I think this is the best place. Nobody ever comes here"

Henry nodded and looked at Killian "so, how do we do this?"

Killian reached into his pocket and took out the magic bean. "I just have to think of the enchanted forest, throw the bean in the ground and a portal will open taking us to the enchanted forest. We don't really know where we will end up, but your family told me that they would find us. I am sure they are looking for us right now"

"Are you ready mom?" Henry asked Emma.

Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. She wasn't ready. She wasn't ready to leave this life behind. She wasn't ready to go and live in a freaking castle, but she said, "Yes, I am"

Henry sensed his mother's doubts and reached out his hand to take hers "We will do this as we do everything. Together."

Emma smiled and squeezed Henry's hand "Together" Emma repeated.

Killian smiled at the two of them. "Ok then, here we go" Killian threw the bean to the ground and a portal appear in front of them. Emma reached her hand and took Killian's hand in her own.

Killian smiled at Emma and Henry. "Shall we jump?"

"I am ready" Henry said taking a last look around him.

"Let's do this" Emma agreed as she walked closer to the portal. She took a last look at the park where she used to run every morning. She was really going to miss this place, but at the same time she couldn't wait to hug her parents again. "Ok we will jump in the count of three"

Killian and Henry nodded.

"One" Henry said

"Two" Killian said

"Three" Emma said and the three of them jumped in the portal hand in hand.

So I got this idea while I was at this park called Muir Woods in California . If you have read my other fanfic you will know that I like to write angst and drama, so this will have both of those elements.

Please let me know what you think!
